This year we did a variety of Scots tunes. Setting a Course for Lewis is a traditional Gaelic song (Togail Curs Air Leodhas) which I learned from a Battlefield Band recording.
I wrote the tune Time for a Tunnocks because the venue for these workshops are across the road from the famous Tunnock's factory which produces millions of teacakes, caramel wafers and caramel logs to sell around the world. You're Welcome Home comes from O'Farrell's 1806 collection, where it is described as "Scotch."
